Hi friends, my shop is currently on pause while I attend to some family stuff. -Amie

Adromischus alstonii

Sold out

$9.75

Sold out

Long slender leaves with a cute little curve at the tip. Faint red spots towards the ends of the pale green leaves. Very elegant.

Adromischus plants stay small, so its easy to keep a collection in a small space. As they get older, they form a thick caudex (stem) at the base. They have a wonderful variation in leaf colors and shapes, and are very easy to propagate from leaves. These plants are hard to find, but very fun to collect.

Soil
Use a very well draining soil mix. Store bought cactus and succulent mix often retains too much water. You can add gritty materials like pumice, lava rock, or perlite to loosen it up and improve drainage. Your mix should be at least half gritty ingredients. Use a pot with drain holes so the soil can dry out. 

Water
Soak your plants thoroughly, then let them dry out completely before watering again. Frequency will depend on your climate. Check for dryness by sticking your finger into the top of the soil, or looking into the drain holes at the bottom of the pot. 

Bare Root Shipping
Most of our plants ship bare root to save on shipping cost. This means the plant will not include a pot or soil. Some plants are shipped in the pot to avoid damage.
